Any housekeeper who wishes 4 re-
liable baking powder can make hel
own and he sure there is no adultera-
ton by simply thoroughly mixing one
part carbonate of soda Gn bulky with
two parts of cream of tartar, with
same quantity of flour to keep it from
hardening The secret of having good
baking powder is in having the ingre-
dients good, keeping it secure from
the air when mixed and not making
too much at one time. A good rule is
to sift the ingredients together seven
times before putting it away, so that il
is thoroughly mixed.-Andtanap0lis
